General Handling Precautions
Only individuals experienced with the operation of lifting equipment and rigging techniques
should attempt to lift or move an Instron system. Equipment operators must have the
appropriate licenses and have complied with your local safety standards (e.g. the appropriate
training required by OSHA in the U.S.).
Always follow the instructions provided with the shipping package. Contact Instron if you
require any additional information or if any part of the shipment is damaged (refer to
“Product Support” on page 1-8).
